    Help (North London) :x

    I now have my front panel courtesy of Raj. (ty mate delivered super quick)

    But unfortunately i don't have a welder, or any welding experience. So i can't put it in, it will cost me a fortune down a garage most probably.

    I was wondering if there was anyone near Enfield (EN1 3DP), that could possibly help me out. I don't mind driving, but not too far as my car has no front bumper/grill and a bent up front and i know what the police are like

    (i do have a front bumper but it needs spraying [courtesy of soapymech - cheers mate], i guess i could always try putting that on just for the journey?)

    Sorry if it is a bit cheeky to ask someone to weld my front panel on for me. But i will do biscuit/beer runs

    (Still waiting on my grill[e] and back bumper to come [Mike Wilson - has suposidly sent] it but it has been 8days , then i can think about the subframe)

    That would be really useful if you could, i don't mind giving you a bit of cash for your trouble.

    Do you think you would be able to take the old one off and put this new one on?

    p.s - Roach where about you from in EN1 (im down by willow road)? I haven't seen any r5's around here!

    Sunday 21st? I would have finished work by then so i am free all day. As i am currently working 7days a week.

    Would bringing a front sub frame with me be too much, or do you have the stuff to swap that over aswell? I don't want to take the p*ss.
